Is there a good method or piece of software that will allow me to restore
secured backups (ntbackup.exe ... /r:yes) in a disaster situation (total
loss
of domain server and domain-joined computers)?

The obvious fix would be to make unsecured backups.

Define secured.
Define unsecured.

Why use a "computer" to secure a backup that then has to be used to restore
the computer? I know MS gives you the ability,...I'm just saying I question
the logic of it. I do not define backups as being unsecured because I
didn't use the /r:yes switch,..and I don't define them as secured because I
used some software switch or some kind of encryption.

I make backups without the "/r:yes". I put the tapes in a fireproof safe
that is bolted from the inside to a concrete floor in the geographical
center of a conrete block building with security cameras pointing down the
hallways and around the exterior of the building with all exterior doors
locked 24/7. The building is well lite 24/7,...is manned 24/7,...and is in
plain site on a busy highway where there are always witnesses

I call that secure,...and I didn't secure it with a "computer". You can't
use a computer for everything.
